I think you are exactly right. With Wall St booming as the markets hit all time highs today there is a lot of money out there to be spent. $500 a ticket for game 6 of the ECF will probably be the going price especially among casual fans who remember the Rangers magic of 20 years ago. The Finals should be very high priced probably 3-4x face for the early games and who knows how much for the later games. But lets win tomorrow night first.
LGR!

i just got a sale for home game 1 next round on stubhub.. around 400 each and im in 213 row 16.. $500 get in for game 6 is definitely a possibility

Doesn't surprise me. Pittsburgh is a minor league city in many aspects. The Pens are popular but they kind of remind me of the Atlanta Braves of a decade ago in which they have a very good team and make the playoffs every year but underachieve big time . After awhile the fan base gets to the point where the team gets stale and they expect the inevitable which is another disappointment.

Yeah, I would be pissed if I was a STH--Chase is at 10, would be surprised if they have an STH at 9. I don't think you need to go through chase.

Just for a laugh I put my tickets on Stubhub at $500 each and I have 6 on my account at $176 each. Game 2 just sold and I picked the UPS option and the buyer is from Mass. For his sake I hope the Bruins win

wow, crazy - what location on those $500 seats?

do we have any projected schedule for the ECF? I guess we're looking at a Wednesday / Friday / Tuesday deal? That would make home game 2 the best game weekday wise

Just a guess but Sat/Mon in MTL/BOS and Wed or Thu/Sat in NY. NBC has a 1 PM game this Saturday so that's probably when the series will start. NBC also has a prime time game next Saturday and I gotta imagine they'd want the Rangers in the prime time slot especially if they're facing the Bruins.
